Last Flight of Captain Jorgen Bierhorst @ KLM
Captain Jorgen Bierhorst made his last flight due to retirement at KLM.
Final destination Curacao and back homebase Amsterdam.
On his retirementfight Jorgen got assisted by First Officer Marcel Kammelar as his ‘Wingman’
and Second Officer Margret Nuijten-Vonk as his ‘Wingwoman’.
Flight KL735 , callsign KLM171, first got planned for a RWY24 departure. But 10 minutes in front of TSAT time they got recleared for RWY18L.
So I had to run with my equipment and racing to the other runway. And than it started raining quite heavy……………
Lots of spray, wiping my cameralens many times and then they gave full throttle heading for CUR with the B777-300ER reg PHBVI.
Backflight KL736 got better and dry circumstances and last landing on RWY18R.
This flight got operated with another B777-300ER and reg PHBVO.
After vacating the runway at Victor 3 taxying to final stand Echo 24.
